I grew up in Brooklyn, were Italian restaurants were on every corner. Later I moved to Long Island were Italians brought the same great food. I know live in Raleigh and am ecstatic that a true Italian restaurant has followed me again. Ristorante Cinelli rivals any restaurant in NY, in fact when I visit back to the LI there aren't any restaurants that compare. The owners there all the time, they are so knowledgeable and passionate about Italian food. Ask for Gianni or Randi or Eddie the Chef who has been with the family for 18 years. I can't believe this restaurant isn't the most spoken about restaurant in town. But I hope this review helps. anyone who wants fresh top notch ingredients in a beautiful atmosphere needs to go there.
Oh! And the singer on Friday nights, Bill Stonehouse is WONDERFUL, doing Frank, Dino, Perry & Tony.
